Abstract
This quantitative research study explored the impact of teachers' motivation on student-teacher interaction. The study was based on three motivational factors (need for achievement, power, and affiliation) of McClelland’s motivational theory and these motivators reflected the teacher’s motivation. This framework developed an understanding from which the perspectives of teachers’ motivation positively impact student-teacher interaction. The study focused on gathering information and understanding from the viewpoint of 300 privet sector female teachers from various privet schools in district Lahore (Township and Wapda town). For this purpose, convenience sampling technique is used to collect data. The quantitative data converged to answer the research questions and reach a conclusion. Interpretation and analysis of the quantitative data suggested that most teachers are qualified but there is a lack of teacher motivation present. There is a strong relationship between the factors of achievement motive as compared to affiliation and power motives of McClelland’s theory. This research study is valid only in one geographical region (Lahore) and also it brings up experiences of only female teachers. This study gives recommendations to teachers, scholars and administration about improving quality of management that fulfils satisfaction level of all teachers, privet sector should take initiative about personal performance of teachers and achievement motive has a very strong relationship with student-teacher interaction. Future studies should explore government should take responsibility for implementing policies regarding teachers’ motivation which is highly affected by student-teacher interaction. There should be policy making team hired by government.
